E-Rate

It's been interesting to learn about a technology funding source called E-Rate. Although the money has a history of disappearing into people's pockets, this funding has the potential of bringing much needed funding to needy schools. The program provides services to schools at a reduced rate. The percentage of discount awarded to a school, after a lengthy and complicated application process, is determined by the percentage of the student population that is participating in the free or reduced breakfast/lunch program.

Here is a link to the program's website. Make sure your school looks into this funding source. http://www.usac.org/sl/
